So instead of participating in "Old Stuff Day" by reposting a blog entry, I'm putting one of my very old minis on display.

I got this fellow at a Paint-and-Take sponsored by Black Lightning at my local hobby shop in 2006. I think he was supposed to be a dark elf, but I didn't know that at the time, hence the color scheme. It occured to me about halfway through that this was the first time I had ever tried to paint a human(oid) face. Go figure.

That face is actually pretty good. Not all deliciously craggy or anything, but it's an ELF. Much better overall than a lot of my old work. And you did NMM too!

I don't really think this guy was a DE, by the way. He's a little too heroic looking and not covered in spikes, skulls and other crap like that, which many evil characters appear to purchase from some sort of Evil Department Store.
